Counselling Support
Find out how to get counselling support at MI and contact the school's counselling team for help with your well-being.
Counselling Approach
MI provides counselling support as part of our social-emotional support for students to care for their well-being. Our counselling approach is based on respect, safety and collaboration. School counselling aims to help our students to improve ways of coping with issues, adapting to changing life circumstances, and developing better understanding and appreciation of their possibilities and options. When necessary and appropriate, school counsellors work collaboratively with students’ families, other professionals or school staff to facilitate better wellness and functioning. Students can meet the School Counsellor first to clarify questions and find out more if you would like to discuss your concerns.
Counselling Team
Our counselling team come from diverse backgrounds, have post-graduate qualifications in counselling and are experienced in working with students who are young adults. Students may contact the counsellors to make an appointment through visiting the counselling room or email or phone as indicated below.
